Gareth Farrelly (born 28 August 1975 in Dublin) is an Irish former footballer who played for Aston Villa, Bolton Wanderers, and Everton in the Premier League, he also played six times for Ireland. He last played for Warrington Town. Following retirement from football Farrelly is now a trainee solicitor.
Farrelly played schoolboy football for Home Farm. Aston Villa signed him as a 16-year-old in 1992, and he made his Villa début on 20 September 1995 against Peterborough United. He moved to Everton in July 1997 for approximately £700,000, and after a season where Everton, and Farrelly personally, struggled, he scored the goal (ironically with his weaker right foot after numerous wayward efforts with left foot throughout the season) that preserved their Premier League status on the final day of the 1997–98 season against Coventry City. He also scored once in the League Cup against Scunthorpe United. However, he was soon on the move to Bolton Wanderers, initially on loan. He won promotion back to the Premier League with Bolton in 2001, scoring the opening goal for them in the play-off final, but then fell out of favour. He was subsequently loaned out to Rotherham United, Burnley, Bradford City, and latterly Wigan Athletic.
Farrelly joined Bohemian in late August 2004 as player-manager, making his début as a late substitute in the 1–0 home win against Cork City on 17 September 2004.
